FRANCE has safely passed through grave crisis in choosing president to succeed Grevy, resigned. The volatile Frenchmen got quite angrily excited in discussing the different candidates who seemed to stand the best show of election. The choice of M. Sadi CarnOt, however, gives quite general sat isfaetion and calms the excitement The new president belongs to family of traditional quality and importance. His grandfather was the famous Carnot of the French revolution, who tried to stem the power of Robespierre, but who after the reign of terror was wrong. fully accused of treason and subsequently be- came one of Napoleon's generals. Sadi Car not's father sat in the Corps Legislatif in 1863, and in the national assembly of 1871. The new president, when called out by the people pressing upon his residence Saturday night. said: 'I beg you to prove by your calm demeanor and regard for order that you are in truth to have a republican government. '' This Is quite in line with the moderate repub- icanism which he has professed for many years. Carnot's announcement that when the new ministry was formed he would close the present session of parliament until after the senatorial election, will add to the good inn pression his election has made.

San Francis ,o Chronicle After the ship Barring Brothers had succeeded in get ting inside the bar, and it was found that she was leaking, the pumps were manned, and all the crew were set at work. The captain in the meantime was anxiously looking for tug, and one at last came iIi sight. It is known that tugs, in case of a leaking vessel, sometimes charge an ex- orbitant rate for service, and it occurred to the captain of the Barring Brothers that if the condition of his ship was known he would be heavily charged by the tug, so, when the tug came near, all the crew were ordered to scattef, and appear as though nothing was the matter. The plan suc- ceeded. Captain Masters, after friendly dicker with the tug, came in under the usual charges, and when the tug was fast to the ship, set the crew again. to working the pumps. How that tugboatman felt when he had lost the fortune which was in his grasp will never be known. His Ian. guage, however, is said by one of the crew to have been "hawful''

Last winter the trustees of John F. Slater fund sent circulars to about 300 prominent southerners asking for certain information about the condition of the colored race. It appears, from the majority of the replies recently published, that colored parents are more interested than formerly Tn the edu- cation of their children that the common schools attended by colored children are improving somewhat in cha acter; that colored people are more disposed to, buy land than in past years that fewer mulat- toes are born now than quarter of 8 century ago j; and that in certain districts where the system of education is being iiberally supported by the public the adN vanceinent of the young colored people is marked. This information is encourag- ing; and the improvement may be expect ed to be more" marked ill years to come when such benefcent agencies as the Slater fund have had more time to exert their in- fuence. It is difficult to set large masses of inertia into motion but after the re- noval of colored ignorance is we'll started, the work will gather momentum and eau be more effectively pushed.

THxRE are people who cannot understand why liquor case cannot be tried upon it's merits, nor why evidence strong enough to convict . man of theft or murder should fail to show him guilty of rum selling. They wonder why justice or jurors seem to be ex- pected to carefully sift the evidence solely to see if there is not some basis of doubt as to the guilt of the accused, and must give their attention to that alone. Nor why justice must alternate his decisions, or be set down as narrow, ,prejudiced and unfit for judicial duty. Nor why certain jurors if put in the box, con- sider that the oath is mere mechanical rout- inc, and that their duty binds them only to the interests of the accused. The rum seller Is shielded and defended by the class whom he curses by his traffic. He is the worst ene- my to those who defend and uphold him-un- less we except the families of these. These mourn over the ''costs to the town" made, in the prosecution of law breakers.

THE governor has decided to call no extra
 session of the legislature to act on the grade
 crossing matter. This sensible decision is the more creditable to him because the pres sure in his own locality was strong for the session. The grade crossing matter is press ing for attention. Let the next legislature understand that the people expect it to move and act. All important public matters can be done at one biennial session, if legislators will waste no time on matters of no import anee. Let such be settled by laws of general application, and then the legislature will find ample time for all required special or new general legislation. >>-- .-.. .. ~z- ss s 5- s

Hartford Courant It must have been very gratifying to General Arms rong, the pioneer in the work of negro education in the south, and one of the pioneers of In. dian education, to have found so large an audience at the South church last night (necessitating the closing of the doors), and to have found the interest which the great audience exhibited in his work.
 Only few years ago it required consider score iu lecture room. Evidently the christian people of Connecticut are begin ming to realize that the civilization and christianization of our own heathen IS g work that is of at least equal importance with the attempted conversion of the less savage heathen on the other side of the globe. -.r

The dafenceless condition of our coasts is again brought vividIy to public notice by the report of the secretary of war. On the entire Atlantic and gulf coast there are only 142 rifed guns, of which 116 are ob- solete and of low power, and even those that are serviceable are of little oalue.
 The Pacific coast is entirely destitute of guns and Notifications. These facts show one of two things-either that the United States have been almost criminally care- less, in neglecting to provide for defence against the attack of foreign power, or else that there is widespread confidence that this nation is to continue in peaceable relations with the rest of the world for an indefinite period.

Hartford Times: There were those who seemed inclined to think that Governor Lounsbury, looking ahead to the not inn probable event of his being candidate, at the next election, for congress from the Fairfield district, might be led to defer to the opportunities of the shore towns of that county, and order an extra session. But he has taken the wiser, better course, and stands firmly for the right and con- nonsense view of these petitions. The petitioners really have no case ; and had the governor yielded to them, he would have lost, by so doing, even from the point of view winch sees only the lowest, least allowable plane-the mere question of votes, of popular strength. For by calling the extra session he would have lost more support in Litchfeld county, and iu the interior tiers of towns of his own county, than he would have gained along the south tier. He has taken tue higher and better course, and may yet see illustrated in that matter the truth of the terse old maxim that honesty is the best policy.

It was that Dan iel Lyons, who was in the tombs under conviction of murder, Chad never been in 8 church in his lhe." How many other young men in this city have had the same experience?

Washington, Dec. 5.-The supreme court of the United States today, in deciding the three prohibition cases from Kansas, held that the state, under the police pow CTS, had the right to suppress the liquor traffic, and that in the state proceedings no right or privilege guaranteed to the dis tillers and liquor dealers had been denied or abridged; also that the state had the right to suppresssthe traffic without pay ing damages or compensation to liquor dealers. This settles the question of the validity of the prohibition law in the af- frmative.

Rev. Dr. Atticus G. Haygood of Georgia, who is well known for his interest in all matters pertaining to education and reform in the south has written to The Chicago Advance on prohibition as follows "As look at it," he says, ''and as most prohibi- tionists look at it, the cause has no occa- sion to commit it's fortunes to third party, existent or probable. Saturate the people with right thoughts and sentiments and no party will stand in the way of their will. The government is to big thing to be run in the interest of as big thing as prohibi- tion. The prohibition party-as party must widen their platform to make it wide enough for this government. When that is done prohibition is merged in the big ger thing running the government-and itfis lost. The aim of prohibitionists is not running the government, but prohibi- tion of the liquor traffic. No government can be run on one issue. The end prohi- bitionists seek fails if they take in hand all the issues that belong to running the gov ernment of the whole country. As long as there are republicans and democrats as long as there will be parties, if differenced only as 'outs' and fins, there will be pro- hibitionists in each who will agree about nothing else"
 N. '. Tribune: French opinion outside of Paris has had time to express itself up, on the choice of president. Evidently the majority of the people are well satis, fled. Probably it is not the fact that M, Carnot was elected that gives so much Sat- isfaction as the circumstance that the cris- is was passed so easily and the succession accomplished with only short-lived ebul. l lition of excitement. Elsewhere than in France the new president is regarded as very much of an unknown quantity. This makes his future action the more interest ing. Our correspondent in Paris says in his dispatch that the new cabinet is likely to be one of concentration and not of com bat. This means that every effort will be made to maintain the spirit of union among the republicans. M. Goblet will probably be made premier, but the radi I calls will not be satisfied unless thoy have
